Is this good pricing?? Dilemma...

Good price on the Tuxedo Black. That was invoice on my truck without the bedliner or under-coating. I think the blue is a little high and as others mentioned, it seems as though it will not be available on the 2014 model. If you're dead set on blue, I'd snag it. If money/value is a bigger concern, I'd snag the Tuxedo Black. The gold in the paint is absolutely gorgeous.

Personally the blue that comes on these Raptors is Awesome. I just liked the black a little more. I will be contracting through AFS. The pay is awesome right now, especially with the low cost of living in lower Alabama.

I have black also but have really grown to love the blue after seeing svtDon and Eric's build up at RPG. They just look awesome with methods and other Mods.

I wanted the Blue, but just seemed too bright for me, I prefer the subdued look of the Black. It is a little more work to keep clean, but I have had a lot of Black vehicles, so I'm used to it. For me it's the size of the truck that makes it difficult to wash, not so much the color. I invested in a high pressure washer (gas powered), foam cannon, jelly blade and an air blaster. Now I can wash and dry it in about an hour, finish it off with some quick detailer and microfiber towel.

I hear guys mention the Gold sparkle in their Black paint. Mine has Silver diamond like and Blue sparkle in the paint, no Gold at all. And it is beautiful.

I'm sure different batches of pearls will have different hues to them. It's kinda cool that every tuxedo black paint is a little bit different.

That sounds awesome. I need to see this black paint in person. How much was all that washing gear? I decided about a year ago to get a pressure washer if I end up getting a Raptor glad to hear it makes the job a bit quicker.

So I pulled the trigger today. My guy at ENCS got them to build one more blue 13'. Should be off the assembly line first week of NOV. Has anyone seen the order banks for 14? Is the blue really dead after this year? I'm trying to get him down under 50K right now, and it's looking pretty promising since I had an old quote from them last NOV. They have to beat lower prices and it's their own dang quote from like 9 months ago.

Sweet Justice.

Id love to build a new raptor for that. Even better would be 51k with TTT.
